Gareth Southgate to ring the changes for England's U20's clash with Colombia

RINGING IN THE CHANGES: Gareth Southgate will make seven changes to his England side for their final game against Columbia on Sunday [GETTY]

The Young Lions boss is ready to rest his most experienced players in a game England must not lose to stay involved in the tournament.

Southgate's side need at least a point to book a place in the third/fourth place play-off on Sunday, following a frustrating 1-1 draw with South Korea.

But he will make seven changes and won't risk the likes of James Ward-Prowse, Nathaniel Chalobah and Nathan Redmond because of the punishing schedule in Toulon.

Ahead of the team's third game in five days Southgate said: "We have got to manage how many minutes they play.

"The only difficulty of this tournament is the fact there is just one day between the games. You could play two games but to then do a third you will be risking it.

"We will have to make seven changes. If we get through, we would then do the same again. It is impossible for the lads who have played - Brazil was such an intense physical game that it impacted on the boys who played against South Korea.

"To ask James and Nathaniel to go again would be asking for trouble really. If they did that, there would be no way they could play on Sunday.
